She’s due in April so not driving won’t be that big of a deal.

Probably from one of those stupid average speed cameras. She should have paid for a lawyer.

6:1 scale is 6 times larger than the original.

Actually it almost is. I used to work with a guy who back in high school, took steroids in order to play high school football. The coach pulled the non-star players aside and told them if they want to keep playing, they will need to take steroids.

My wife’s​ old house is just offset from an intersection. Luckily there’s a gigantic electrical box in the front yard for the underground power lines. If the box didn’t stop you, the electricity will.

Would a 2000 mile fence make for good neighbors?

That schmuck made $100 million in 60 days selling merchandise to Walmart because Kid Rock thought it was a good idea.

In this case they do own the road, the organizers have to pay a pretty hefty fee to the city to closed the road.

It’s a closed road, but even when there are marshals, fencing, flags, whistles, lead motorcycle and anything else you can think of to block pedestrians, they still will try to cross at the worst possible moment instead of waiting another 20 seconds for the riders to go by. That’s been my experience in the many years I…

What’s more vulnerable, carrier or an airfield?

I wonder if you will get the same responses as the P1 vs. 918 vs. La Ferrari comparison?

It’s not like it’s a 911 where they are all the same.

Other than cosmetic stuff, like the Lamborghini badge where it would be more difficult to make, it doesn’t really have advantages over woven other than cost.

They only use the term forging to make it sound better, but it isn’t. Their process is like making IKEA particle board. Whereas a traditional composite part is made with woven or unidirectional fabric, much like plywood or microllam where you are taking large thin sheets of wood and laminating it together.

Only if you want to sound like a tool.

Here’s an article with pictures of the process of making the badge. http://www.motortrend.com/news/lamborghini-experimenting-chopped-fiber-suspension-parts-future-cars-37577/

At least he made the landing, unlike this guy.

It doesn’t say it was used for the rims, only body parts. There’s only a few companies that make carbon fiber rims for cars. Carbon fiber’s main strength is long continuous fibers. The epoxy is just holding it together. The “forged” composites uses small chopped strands which isn’t very strong.

One, it’s not a forging. It’s a molded composite part.

They called it a forging because it sounds better when in fact it isn’t, just cheaper. As a fellow aerospace engineering, you would know forgings have grain structure. Forged composites does not. The process is basically taking prepreg chopped strand mat and stuffing it into mold.
